Yes I find you a PolticalFactDodger to both be rather completely full of shit.
So fine. On what five or six issues do you disagree with the Conservative Talking Heads on? Three of four maybe?
Thought so.
Wanna cracker?
You have proven to be a mind-numbed dolt.
Fact?
"Reporting from Sacramento — More than $69 million in California welfare money, meant to help the needy pay their rent and clothe their children, has
been spent or withdrawn outside the state in recent years, including millions in Las Vegas, hundreds of thousands in Hawaii and thousands on cruise ships sailing from Miami. State-issued aid cards have been used at
hotels, shops, restaurants, ATMs and other places in 49 other states, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam, according to data obtained by The Times from the California Department of Social Services. Las Vegas drew $11.8 million of the cash benefits, far more than any other destination. The money was accessed from January 2007 through May 2010."

LATimes....facts.
Vote Democrat...
....and continue to be treated like an intellectual mushroom.
Now see, someone with an IQ exceeding 50 would have noticed that i've posted several times in this very thread "welfare and other entitlement programs are often abused and that needs to be addressed." So what you have done is tried to prove me wrong by reinforcing something I've said. Brilliant. This would be the difference between an Independent and a whackjob.

I thought you independently dealt in facts? All's I just heard were a bunch of mindless platitudes. I've seen your analysis on this board. You're a lefty bro. You just want to pretend that you're an unbiased arbiter while spouting leftist ideology. That type of highminded nonsense is no better than a lot of the lunacy we see here.
Oh I have plently of Liberal Views! And plenty of Conservative ones. The thing with mindless drones is, if you don't agree with them on EVERYTHING, you know, 1984 style? Yeah that. ANY dissent from total assimiliation is not tolerated! Mind control baby!
You're both drones.
Easy to prove.
Either of you up for the challenge or you gonna Cut & Run as would be expected?
You're not an 'independent'....you're a fool.
There is no possible way for anyone with a mind to view the data and find
that the welfare programs are anything but a failure.
1. Throwing money at the problem has neither
reduced poverty nor made the poor self-sufficient.
2. Since 1964 the federal government spent roughly $12 trillion fighting
poverty, and state and local governments
added another $3 trillion. Yet the poverty
rate never fell below 10.5 percent and is now
at the highest level in nearly a decade.
3. ...federal welfare spending alone totals more than $14,848 for every poor man,
woman, and child in this country. For a typical poor family of three, that amounts to
more than $44,500. Combined with state and
local spending, government spends $20,610
for every poor person in America, or $61,830
per poor family of three. Given that the poverty line for that family is just $18,530, we
should have theoretically wiped out poverty
in America many times over.
4. . Â… the poverty rate has remained relatively constant since 1965, despite rising
welfare spending. In fact, the only appreciable decline occurred in the 1990s, a time of
state experimentation with tightening welfare eligibility, culminating in the passage
of national welfare reform (the Personal Responsibility and Work Responsibility Act of
1996).
5. The vast majority of current programs are focused
on making poverty more comfortable—giving poor people more food, better shelter,
health care, and so forth—rather than giving
people the tools that will help them escape
poverty. And we actually have a pretty solid
idea of the keys to getting out of and staying
out of poverty: (1) finish school; (2) do not
get pregnant outside marriage; and (3) get a
job, any job, and stick with it.

So, you're naught but a sap without the intellectual acumen to realize
how you are being played.
Your claim to fame is "I have plently of Liberal Views! And plenty of Conservative ones."
When the data indicates only one possible conclusion, only a dimwit would find your claim admirable.
It is clear that you are a biological anomaly: your brain has become your new appendix: no real function, and it could blow up and kill you.
Carry on.
